Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head & Other Drawings

Having already conquered the cartoon world with Cat in 1975, B. (Bernard) Kliban revealed just how bizarre his perspective on life truly was with this follow-up collection of cartoons, on every subject except cats (okay, there is one cat in here, but you could easily miss him). Here we meet Genghis and Sylvia Khan, catch Martin Luther declining statehood, consider the seeming coincidence of the Anglo-Saxon and the angled saxophone, find what is possibly the first use of "mental floss," visit the famous Leaning Tower of Rubber, and ponder what the City of New York did with the remains of King Kong. Profoundly odd and indescribably hilarious.

"Not to put down Crumb or Koren or Booth or Rodgriguez or Trudeau or anybody else, but Kliban's Never Eat Anything Bigger than Your Head & Other Drawings is the only book I've read in years that made me howl. I mean thigh-slapping, roll-on-the-ground, can't-catch-my-breath howling. And every time I go back to it, I find some new detail to chuckle at."—Rolling Stone
